I am so happy with my experience with San Diego Auto Body! I was in a minor fender bender in my office parking lot a few weeks ago and since I am about to turn my leased car in, I needed it to be fixed. The entire process went so smoothly! The price was very affordable and it was fixed in just a few days. I will for sure be going back there if I ever need any type of body work or paint done again.

3 days after my initial review, I received a call from this company offering me 300 dollars for me to remove my review, to which I declined. People need to know the truth. I now really question the reviews on Unilocal… how many people took the money and removed their honest review? Please don’t do that people! you will just let other Unilocal users fall into a trap again in the future.
Also want to add. Do not fall for the labor discount, because all they do is increase the number of hours required to complete the task. For example they quoted 2.5 hours just to adjust headlight position. I am not a mechanic but have done this personally by following YouTube tutorial and it took me under 30 minutes to find the optimum position.

Tarek is an awesome guy! He does awesome work and he will fix your car better than anyone in North county. He fixed my BMW and he can fix anything. Go to San Diego Auto body and paint for the best deal in town and the best work in town

Horrible service. It took them 3 months just to give the adjuster the correct information before they could start repairs. I had to drive around a broke car all that time and pay out of pocket for most of my rental because I needed it for extra days, due to the delay. Steer clear from here. They didn’t even fix everything. My battery wasn’t affected at all in the accident and they took it out and forgot to screw it back in place causing it to hit metal and spark and my car died numerous times. Not to mention a broken antennae which wasnt even broken when I dropped it off. Find a better repair shop for you own sake.

We had our car’s bumper repaired and are very pleased with the service. The quote was lower than our other estimates, and was completed when promised. If we ever need work again– heaven forbid– we won’t hesitate returning. I especially enjoyed visiting with Boss.

Delighted with their work!
We got several estimates around town when I needed some minor repair on my new (to me) Mercedes. Liz followed up daily, and while it took a day or two longer than what we originally talked about– I told them to keep it as long as they needed to, I would rather them not rush the work. It looks AMAZING… and guess what? Was HALF of what the highest bid was.

Had an bad experience with this place. Once car was finished I came to find out my keyless start had an error and I couldn’t lock and unlock my car! Their excuse was «things happen». It was working before I gave them my car and even reminded them before they started to check that function because my door handle was scratched. They had to take it into the dealer to resolve it. I also didn’t like the way they detailed the car after. There were white marks where detailer wax was applied. I also found some debris on my leather seats! I wouldn’t be going back.

Had a slightly unusual painting job on a motorcycle. Wanted to get a top case painted to match the rest of the bike. It seems as soon as you mention the word motorcycle, most body shops act like they do not want your business and want to run away or charge some ridiculous amount of money. Liz was very happy to work with me and quoted a price that I thought was reasonable for the work being done. The price she quoted me was the exact price I paid. Also, she did not blink at the word motorcycle. She stated 3 days but called me in 2 days to let me know it was ready. The top case turned out exactly the way I wanted it to.
The credit card machine was acting up so she had to do an old manual paper slip. Later that day she proactively e-​mailed me a copy of the receipt showing the correct amount was charged. (I like that kind of follow up where you don’t have to chase people down.)
All in all a pleasant experience with people who show they appreciate your business and want the customer to be happy.
P. S. Don’t let the German Sheppard scare you, that is one cool olé friendly dog.

After talking to Tarek (the owner), I came back with the car and they were happy enough to fix all problems that I pointed out. I was even provided a free rental! Really glad that I chose this place as the workers are really professional and friendly. They do a great job and I will be coming back here for any future projects I have in mind!

The BEST Body Shop in San Diego. I have taken my 1954 Chevrolet, 2012 Honda Civic, and 2007 Nissan Titan to them and ALWAYS receive OUTSTANDING SERVICE.
If after picking up your vehicle, something was missed during the inspection just call them, Tarek & Liz will make it right.
Tarek & LIz are EXTREMELY PROFESSIONAL, COURTEOUS, FRIENDLY, and NICE people.
Thanks T & Liz for the recent work on the Charger Flagship!!!

Took my BMW 750LI (murdered out) to San Diego Auto Body & Paint after reading all the great Unilocal reviews and I could not be happier! First of all the owner/​manager (Tarek I think) is very professional and extremly courteous. Their estimate was very competitive and the work done was as promised. My car came back better then new and a day earlier than promised!

San Diego Auto Body & Paint is awesome! Found them online as one of the top rated body shops in my area and decided to check them out.
Recently took the rear spoiler off of my 2002 Mustang. As with any older car, rings are left where the spoiler used to sit. Looked up body shops in the Escondido area and found San Diego Auto Body & Paint. Was greeted by Tarek and I started to ask for advice as to how I would approach the issue with the rings left by the spoiler. He was very friendly and offered to try buffing it by hand to see what he could do. We could see that it was removing a little bit of the ring but more work would be required. Tarek told me to come back during the weekday and they’ll take care of it. Brought my car back in, talked to Elisabeth, and she immediately had Salomon work on it. They did a great job and I am extremely happy with it. Must have only taken Solomon minutes where it would have taken me hours to do.
The people at San Diego Auto Body & Paint are great. Even though I only had a limited interaction with them, it was enough to showcase their quality of craftsmanship, professionalism, and service. Definitely will come back if I need any more work done. Check these guys out before going anywhere else.

I recently used SD Auto Body as i was in an accident. Their service was top notch and they finished quicker than expected. My car looked better than before and they gave me a free car wash. It is a pleasure to deal with a great business.

I recently took my car in to San dieogo Auto Body and Paint and am very pleased with the results that Terek and his team did for me and my BMW. It looks like brand new. I would highly recommend his company for anyone needing body work.

I took my car in today after finding SD Auto Body and Paint on the internet. I just moved to SD and bought my car through a rent2buy program… I didn’t realize until I got home that the bumper was unclipped on the side– the bumper popped out of place each time I drove it.
When I went to SD Auto Body and Paint I told Tarek the issue and what probably needed to be done other than fully replacing the bumper. Tarek was friendly and professional and matched a quote I had previously received from another mechanic. Tarek had my bumper fixed in 30 for free of charge (such a nice surprise)! It was definitely a warm welcome to my new neighbourhood. I will definitely be coming back! Thank you!

Couldn’t ask for better customer service. Been coming here for years, and have brought numerous vehicles in for a wide variety of issues ranging from broken parts to scratched paint to a huge dent in my back bumper. My car always leaves looking better than new when I take it to San Diego Auto Body and Paint and prices are unbeatable. Tarek and Liz are great! They treat you like family and your car as if it was their own.

I took my 2015 Cadillac escalade there for some bumper damage, they brought the car back to the way it left the dealer. I will recommend this place to all my family and friends! Thank you SD auto body and paint!

Ok it’s been a year now since my paint job. I wanted to wait to see how the paint held up to give a fair review. Sooo… paint looked awesome when first done. They detailed it after they painted it and left minor swirl marks, but no biggie to me since it was a much improvement from before.
There were some areas that were not done correctly and Tarek was annoyed when I pointed them out. After going back and forth and getting some of the items address I gave up and accept the car.
I LOVED how my car looked but it’s been a year now and the paint is already comming off on the hood. Very small but I only drive this car maybe 2 times a week and it’s garaged. Also I can see where they skipped painting areas because the paint is oxidizing (that is the reason I wanted to get it painted, to get rid of that). I spent $ 3k and probably got ripped off. I should have went with another company I was looking into the charged 1.5 K more and would have done it right.
From what I can see is if u are an insurance customer u will get good service and results but if your a solo customer that wont be the case.

Once again they exceded my expectations. My car was parked on PB drive and someone ran into my car on a beach cruiser.
I was surprised with how much damage was done, It looked like I had been in a major accident, I’m glad the girl on the bike was ok. SD Auto body not only fixed the body damage at less than half the cost, but deliverd my car before I expected. Tarek is awesome! Thank you for your awesome customer service, it’s what keeps bringing us back.

KEEP LOOKING!
I found San Diego Auto Body and Paint using Unilocal and now I wish I would have kept looking.
Went to see them about replacing my back bumper after being hit. I went through the other persons insurance, the accident not being my fault.
Anyway, I took it in on a Tuesday and the manager said it should be ready early next week (so 1 week). Almost 2 weeks later I finally got my vehicle back.
During the two weeks they had my vehicle there were many issues with San Diego Auto Body and Paint not communicating with the insurance company I was going through. This caused hours of phone calls and headaches.
After getting my vehicle back I noticed they completely missed painting a spot on the new bumper and found multiple scratches on my car that were not there before! So, I talked to the manager and he said to bring it in and they would take a look/​fix it. I picked my vehicle up later that same day and was NOT impressed with the results. I could still see the scratches they made.
Frustrated and angry I arrive home and notice yet another deep scratch in my vehicle that was not there before. I proceeded to email the manager twice over the next week and have never heard back.
San Diego Auto Body and Paint gave poor service and did a poor job. Keep looking.
